I assume that not many do though (go over 2000). Would that be safe to assume?

It depends on what kind of customers you are selling to, and what type of equipment you are allowing.
Even with just the 2 line analog adapter, you could have some work at home or small business customers that hit 3000 to 4000 minutes every month.
And if you allow BYOD customers, usage can skyrocket past 10,000 minutes per month. That's why most voip providers have fine print in their TOS limiting usage to "typical residential use" of some number like 5000 minutes. So there's really no such thing as "unlimited" calling in most cases.
(sidenote: wingsohot is correct that a lot of that could be Toll Free calls. I hope Tim/voipo eventually get around to separating out Toll Free calls rather than lumping them in with domestic usage.)
I'd like others to weigh in on what usage they're seeing from residential users with two-line analog adapters (not including calls to toll-free numbers).
I wonder what accounts for the discrepancy between the number Voipo cites (470 minutes) and what resellers are seeing.

it really varies bro.
You will always get a good look when having to collect the bill.
I have one customer that uses 3-12 minutes a month... and some customers that work from home that use 1200-1600.
It really just depends on the customer and the month.
Keep your price to where you don't lose based on your terms and conditions, and just make sure you charge enough to cover your basis.
If you plan on reselling at 6-10$/month with no other price points, you are GOING to lose money, law of averages man.
Each of us have different type of customers, and every customer is different than the next.
